Clutter. Whether it’s due to procrastination, an emotional attachment to the things we have, time pressure, or a lack of organization, clutter can create a sense of chaos, seriously interfering with how effectively we get things done in our daily lives.
Physical Clutter
Physical clutter can start simply enough: a pile of papers we don’t have time to go through; a collection of objects we don’t have space for but don’t want to get rid of; a group of things we need to organize.
Once started, clutter can grow and take on a life of its own. It becomes easier to add to the pile, easier to think we’ll get to it later. Before long, we may look around and feel overwhelmed by the clutter we’ve created. It can affect our mood, bringing us down and making us feel scattered and restless.
